Only about 5% of women are unable to produce enough milk with the right help, and toddlers certainly don't need commercial toddler milk.

In Egypt, only 19 per cent of babies born by C-section were breastfed in the first hour after birth, compared to 39 per cent of babies born by natural delivery. Common practices such as discarding colostrum, an elder feeding the baby honey or health professionals giving the newborn a specific liquid, such as sugar water or infant formula, delay a newborn's first critical contact with his or her mother. "Apart from the child, breastfeeding has important benefits for the health of mothers", says Dr. Sachin Jain, Consultant Neonaatologist, Columbia Asia Hospital, Gurgaon. Exclusive breastfeeding also helps to bring about bonding of baby and mother and helps delay a new pregnancy. "Importantly, each of those children would be given the strongest foundation for lifelong health and optimal nutrition, and the best chance possible of achieving the highest attainable standard of health". Breastfeeding has a multitude of benefits for women and children, regardless of whether they live in a rich or poor household. One of the steps to successful exclusive breastfeeding includes allowing mothers and infants remain together 24 hours a day. To boost exclusive breastfeeding, the Global Breastfeeding Advocacy Initiative, led by UNICEF and World Health Organization in collaboration with worldwide partners, are providing leadership to improve breastfeeding rates.

Beyond combating marketing of breast milk substitutes, there is need to invest in policies and programmes that support women's breastfeeding. Sustained breastfeeding support, education, and consistent, accurate information will help to meet these goals.

He stated that even in scenarios where breastfeeding was challenged for instance, due to the demise of a mother at birth, effort should be made to seek out an already breastfeeding relative, who could volunteer to feed both her baby and the other baby placed in her care, at the same time through "tandem breastfeeding". It prevents hunger, malnutrition, and ensures food security for the child.
